GAMETAP INDIES DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM PROVIDES NEW HOME FOR THE BEST INDEPENDENT GAMES

ATLANTA - February 27, 2007 - GameTap, the first-of-its-kind broadband entertainment network from Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS, Inc.), announced today GameTap Indies, a marketing and distribution program specifically designed to introduce independent games to a broader gaming audience. Through this program, GameTap subscribers will be exposed to a variety of new games they are likely unfamiliar with, due to limited distribution. In addition, GameTap will emphasize its support for independent developers through the sponsorship of a new award called the "GameTap Indie Award", to be presented at the 2007 Independent Games Festival Awards in San Francisco on Wednesday, March 7th.

The GameTap Indies program will take effect immediately, and serve as an added distribution channel for creative developers. By enlisting in the program, GameTap assumes responsibility for the digital distribution of each selected game. In addition to being promoted alongside popular GameTap Original titles, such as "Sam & Max: Season 1" and "Myst Online: Uru Live", GameTap Indies will be showcased in a special Independent Games content area within the service.

"With GameTap Indies, we are giving developers and publishers the chance to put their game in front of an audience that otherwise might not see it," said Ricardo Sanchez, GameTap's vice president of content. "There is a lot of innovation happening in gaming today that can only thrive on the hard drives and computer screens of gamers because of the boundless broadband frontier. With GameTap's expansive reach and unique model, we will be able to offer forward thinking game designers a platform for success."

For the first time, GameTap will also be presenting the GameTap Indie Award at the Independent Games Festival, which is part of the Game Developers Conference (GDC), and for which GameTap is Platinum Sponsor. The three hand-picked recipients of the GameTap Indie Award will have the opportunity to have their titles showcased on the GameTap Service. Sanchez selected these three games as outstanding examples of achievement in independent game development and each epitomize the quality and innovation in gameplay that GameTap hopes to present through the GameTap Indies distribution program.

One recipient will receive a $10,000 advance after signing a five year distribution deal to be a part of the new GameTap Indies label. Two additional recipients will each receive a $5,000 advance after signing the same five year distribution deal to be part of the new GameTap Indies label. The chosen developers will be announced onstage at the Independent Games Festival on Wednesday, March 7th.
